HERE'S WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT STUDIO CABS: CONTENDERS ROUND 1

Buster Odeholm
Producer & Mix Engineer (Born of Osiris, Humanity's Last Breath, Silent Planet)
Cabs are the most important thing for good tone. Ive been using GGD Cabs for my tones for a while and I'm really impressed. Knowing how good Nolly's ear is and how much he nerds out on speakers, I trust GGD to capture the best cabs, the best way for each release and they always deliver.

Peter Miles
Producer (We Are The Ocean, Canterbury, Martin Grech)
Within five minutes of installing @getgooddrums smash and grab the latest mix I was working on was sounding better! Smash mode on my parallel drum bus added the perfect amount of hype and dirt whilst still remaining controlled. 5 minutes later I had dialled in a fantastic saturated lead vocal sound using aggressive compression and tape saturation, definitely not just for drums! I love how this plugin can go from the subtle enhancement to complete annihilation. I can see Smash and Grab replacing many of my go to plugins from now on!

Jeremy Reeves
Producer & Mix Engineer (Paloma Faith, Little Mix, Craig David)
GGD has quickly become part of my go to Arsenal for acoustic drums. The detail in these drum samples, as well of the comprehensive easy to use interface, makes for quick and efficient drum tracks in any genre artist that im working with. You would be doing yourself a disservice if these drums were not part of your production.
